ONTARIO: WWE brings ‘Smackdown' to town

Recently, the WWE tag team division has seen a resurgence of sorts with more tag matches making it on the shows. Rhodes said the division is so good for one specific reason.

âI think itâs the Brotherhood, itâs Cody Rhodes and Goldust,â he said. âWeâve upped the ante in the tag team division and taken it to new heights.â

The duo held the WWE tag team championships for three months before losing to The New Age Outlaws during a recent pay-per-view. Rhodesâ younger brother also has some fun with him.

âYou have a 44-year-old man and a 27-year-old,â he said. âCody calls me the Benjamin Button of the WWE. I am just that. I go in there and hang with the young kids and teach them how to do things, tell a story and leave the people happy.â

In a career that has spanned 24 years, Rhodes said that teaming with his brother for a win against trio The Shield at the Battleground pay-per-view in October 2013 is his favorite moment.

âNothing has topped that in this business,â he said. âBefore that it was âWrestlemania 12â with Roddy Piper. That stood in first place for years and years. Then at âBattlegroundâ against The Shield, I was trying to win our jobs back with my dad in our corner. That is my all-time top right there. Nothing has topped that and I believe nothing will.â

But, being a veteran does not mean that Rhodes is content to rely on past success. Goldust is trying out new moves and innovating in the ring.

âI want to do something that Iâve never done. Something that everyone looks at and says âGoldust canât do that. Oh my God, Goldust just did that!â And leave them with âI canât believe Goldust just did that, that is awesome!ââ he said.

Goldust strives to create something new, a maneuver, a moment, something memorable, for each match.

âAnd now Iâm doing them on live events and itâs really cool,â he said. âIâve got to come up with something new now (for the Ontario show). Iâm really enjoying this new attitude, this new Goldust. This cool Goldust.â
